At the plateFor the fourth game in a row, the Phils had a situation in which they had runners at the corners and no outs. For the first time, they scored on one of these situations as Young singled home Rollins in the sixth. Howard followed with a long, three-run home run to center. Howard’s third home run of the season was his 36th career longball against the Mets.

Young had three hits and is hitting .333.
